If Ireland bat the first session, Pakistan is out of this. The lead will be more than 200+ and there's no way Pakistan will look to chase 200 on a 5th day wicket in 2 sessions with cloud cover. Which would unfortunately play right into Ireland's hand and we'd probably succumb to the pressure.

Pakistan's only chance is to get them out in the first hour of play and to be chasing no more than 160-170. That follow-on enforcement looked a bad decision then and it's looking stupid by the minute now.
